This is chiefly due to the fact that the earth's core is incredibly hot--perhaps hotter than the surface of the sun (most of the heat in the core comes from the radioactive decay of elements). Friction from convection in the mantle also adds heat, and near the surface (within the crust) pressure has an effect on increasing temperature at depth.

Does water temperature in the lake decrease as depth increases?
The further down you go, the colder it gets. This is due to a lack of sunlight as depth increases.
What is the relationship between temperature and solubility?
as the temperature increases the solubility also increases
The solubility of most solids as the temperature increases?
For most solids, as the temperature increases the solubility increases.
What happens to the volume of mercury as the temperature increases?
The volume increases, which is why the mercury in a thermometer rises as the temperature increases.
Why does temperature affect the rate of osmosis?
as the temperature increases, the rate of osmosis increases
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
How does temperature change with depth in Earth's crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
What happen with temperature and pressure as earth's depth increases?
Both temperature and pressure increase as depth increases.
Does the temperature in Earth's crust decrease in depth?
false, the temperature increases with depth
How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?
temperature increases with depth
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
What the temperature of the earth's interior?
Increases with depth
How does temperature change depth in earth crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
When depth into the earth increases so does?
Temperature and pressure increase with increased depth into the Earth.
What happens to the temperature and pressure as depth increases?
Both increase.
Does water temperature in the lake decrease as depth increases?
The further down you go, the colder it gets. This is due to a lack of sunlight as depth increases.
What happens to temperature as depth below earth surface increases?
It increases up to a certain point.
